Elia Barcelo is back. The international best seller, author of The Color of Silence and The Silver Night. More than 120, 000 copies of her novels sold in the last years. In the 1970s, the prestigious Argentine short story writer Raul de la Torre, who lives in Paris, rose to fame by publishing his first novel. His popularity as a boom novelist grew with his following works, his unexpected second marriage, and his political involvement. All of this placed him in the spotlight of society when he discovers his homosexuality and when he commits suicide with a gun. Many years later, the young French critic Ariel Lenormand embarks on the biography of the writer by interviewing those who knew him: his editor, his friends and, above all, Amelia, his puzzling and sophisticated first wife, companion and support throughout of his life. What dark stresses led him to confess his homosexuality in a time when no one did? Why did he kill himself? Why do witnesses lie after so many years?
